Nature makes use of a range of fascinating surface properties, such as the leaves of the Lotus plant which stay clean even in dirty environments. In this project we will explore the molecular properties of novel polymer coated surfaces that-similar to some natural surfaces-can adapt to changing environmental stimuli and be resistant to contamination. Specifically, we aim to develop self-cleaning polymer coatings which can reversibly switch from wettable to non-wettable with changing temperature and humidity. These self-cleaning polymer surfaces with environmentally responsive properties will add value to pre-painted steel products and other coatings.

大自然利用了一系列迷人的表面特性，比如莲花的叶子即使在肮脏的环境中也能保持清洁。在这个项目中，我们将探索新型聚合物涂层表面的分子特性，这种表面类似于一些天然表面，可以适应不断变化的环境刺激并耐污染。具体来说，我们的目标是开发自清洁聚合物涂层，它可以随着温度和湿度的变化从可湿性可逆地切换到不可湿性。这些具有环境响应特性的自清洁聚合物表面将为预涂钢产品和其他涂层增加价值。
